Are you sure? I've heard that noise like that can be a good thing.
[ look, he knows that sometimes people just like living in a noisy place. if he's a pirate then maybe he likes that kind of noise? he has never heard of quiet sailors. ]
[ he actually doesn't know much about the pirate side of things and, well, that's so much better topic of conversation than the alternative right now. so if he looks happy to talk about it, then giyuu will keep asking. ]
Nah, actually... it's pretty small as far as crews go.
[Sometimes Sanji forgets because each of his crewmates has the personality of ten]
There's my beautiful navigator and archeologist to start~!! ... and, uh. then the captain, the sniper, the shitty swordsman, our skeleton musician, the doctor, and our shipwright.
[ oh. that seems like a modest crew—perhaps the boat he sails isn't a very large one? giyuu has never seen a pirate ship in real life so he can only imagine.
that said he...can follow up until skeleton.... look, he is accepting a lot of things when it comes to the murder game but this. that's??? ]
[ ( naru voice ) i love one piece so much but also what the fuck one piece.... ]
Afro..?
[ giyuu is a time and of a culture before afros, so the thing he's imagining right now will effectively be a skeleton walking around with a puffier looking topknot? is...that how things work?
he played himself by letting him think about this too much. ]
Also Sanji, troll that he is, enjoys the look of lost exhaustion on poor Giyuu's face, but he's willing to have mercy and begins snickering under his breath]
Oi, don't worry, even where I'm from, skeletons walking around is not the norm. Brook ate a Devil Fruit that activated on his death, and that's why he's still alive.
[ PLOT WISE AND CANON WISE. WHAT THE FUCK IS ONE PIECE.
but. yes.
those are, indeed, words that he has just spoken and that entire sentence didn't make a single sense to him. is this better or worse than techono babble??? ]
Like a demon?
[ ONLY DEMONS CAN COME BACK TO LIFE FOR HIM OKAY. also "devil fruit"?? sounds like demon nonsense. ]
[Turning quickly and waving his hands in the air to dispel that thought. Just because Brook isn't here doesn't mean Sanji won't defend him from a demon slayer]
He's 100% human. Just... without the skin or organs. It's... uh. It's complicated.
[ alright, not a demon, but he frowns nevertheless because?? ]
It sounds complicated. Is it like a special ability—magic?
[ because it doesn't sound like it would be "advance technology" for all things considered. unless there is a future world that can do that, and if there is then giyuu will just stop trying. ]
[How DO devil fruits even work? Sanji's aware of the scope of their powers, that his shithole of a father was invested in some of their secrets, but...]
Though there's enough shitheads working on expanding the power of a devil fruit and how to apply it, that it's almost a science at this point. Someone once combined a sword and the Elephant Fruit.
[ how would he describe where he's from? the first word he wants to use is "normal", but clearly everyone's definition of "normal" varies among one another that he's just...trying. ]
I'm uncertain what you'd be used to but it would be "normal", or perhaps by your standards a bit boring.
[ you know, since he had demons and sanji has the entirety of one piece.
[ hm. well if he's coming off as sincerely despite the cursing, giyuu is going to make his best effort to describe where he's from...without the demons. no one needs to know about something that's already there and bad. ]
It isn't very advance as some people have told me about their worlds. The country that I live in called Japan and I live in a complex of my own. It's quite out of the way and I rarely have too many visitors.
[ is that the kind of details that sanji was looking for?? ]
The buildings are built differently than they are here. [ he doesn't know how to describe them so he moves on. ] The food that's served in the mess halls are things that are largely unfamiliar with me. It's been interesting trying them out.
Oh trust me. Recipes are a luxury, even where I come from. And sometimes the best meals I end up making are the ones where I have to navigate someone's specific tastes.
[So he's had practice, is what he means. And just judging by the lightheartedness in his voice, it's an offer he's more than willing to make]
[ giyuu has no frame of reference since he has pretty much been inland his entire life, and he's not about to question or doubt a pirate chef. ...there are a few things that he wouldn't let him get away with but this sounds reasonable, at least. ]
Then I'll look forward to seeing how you'll interpret the dishes that I show to you. [ ... ] ...and see if you can make them taste better than I know.
[ look, whether he is aware that he's encouraging sanji or not is not the issue but more like—he's really curious in seeing if sanji will make his favorite dish but on another level?
sometime a man can be selfish. ]
I didn't think you would be that type. [ hmm. ] Others here tend to think themselves as a good cook, as well.

A sword and an elephant fruit?
[ just going from the information that he has going for him right now—actually no, nothing comes to mind because he can't quite understand it. ]
...how do you get a sword to eat a fruit.
no subject
[...]
Just -- don't worry too much about it. My world's got all kinds of weird shit like that floating around.
[All of which is "normal" in his eyes, but Sanji understands how crazy it's going to sound to a passerby.]
What about where you come from? I know it's got demons, but...

[ HE'S TRYING SO MUCH. ]
no subject
Giyuu is... bad at this.
So bad.
But that is secondary to effort]
I told you I'm a chef, so maybe I can try to recreate some of the food you're used to, if you miss it. It's good practice for me anyway.
no subject
still, the offer is one that he doesn't ignore or wave off because, well, sometimes you just want to have some decent rice dishes. ]
I would only know most of them by taste and general ingredients. Do you think you could manage with just that?
[ though, if sanji can recreate food from home, sanji might suddenly become one of his favorite people in this forsaken place. ]

Tch, you better prepare to have your tastebuds blown off then. I don't half-ass anything when it comes to food.
